A preliminary study on the potential of Eusideroxylon zwageri T and B belian to form epicormic shoots

Hamsawi Sani, . and Dayang Awa Abang Lingkeu, . (1995) A preliminary study on the potential of Eusideroxylon zwageri T and B belian to form epicormic shoots. [Proceedings Paper]

Eusideroxylon zwageri T and B Belian has shown the ability to form epicormics sprouts from young stumps mature isolated stems and branches. However its formation requires a certain amount of shade since the newly formed epicormic shoots easily dried up when the plant were placed under full sun. The best technique to produce epicormic shoots from isolated stem is to place the stem sections of E. zwageri had demonstrated juvenile characteristics such as soft and less sticky buds and leaves comparable to those of young seedlings. These rejuvenated shoots could provide abundant material for vegetative propagation. Clonal propagation either by cutting or in vitro culture is important for many tropical tree species because of the irregular flowering and fruiting while such problem is execerbate by short seed viability.

Abstract

Eusideroxylon zwageri T and B Belian has shown the ability to form epicormics sprouts from young stumps mature isolated stems and branches. However its formation requires a certain amount of shade since the newly formed epicormic shoots easily dried up when the plant were placed under full sun. The best technique to produce epicormic shoots from isolated stem is to place the stem sections of E. zwageri had demonstrated juvenile characteristics such as soft and less sticky buds and leaves comparable to those of young seedlings. These rejuvenated shoots could provide abundant material for vegetative propagation. Clonal propagation either by cutting or in vitro culture is important for many tropical tree species because of the irregular flowering and fruiting while such problem is execerbate by short seed viability.
